What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[Riva_Roxaban]

Two slices of middle bacon, two egg and cheese omelette, mushrooms, two slices of low carb toast and vegimite for breakfast.
Tub of chobani greek yoghurt, lemon cordial mix for smoko.
Spicy seafood marinara in a spag bol sauce, small portion of reheated pasta spirals for lunch.
Mixed salad in a low carb wrap, tub of low sugar jelly for supper at six.

I was feeling a lot better in my guts yesterday, no problems with eating a decent size meal.

@Antje77 Aww poor wee goat - I hope it makes it - not easy for you having to be cruel to be kind in giving the injection - try and keep your chin up ...

Brunch - 2 slc bread slices toasted and filled with ham, coleslaw & cheese. Mug of earl grey

Dinner - gammon steak with fried egg on top. Cauliflower cheese.

@maglil55 Still no sign of the dgf delivery- despite it supposed to be delivered to me yesterday - STILL in Peterborough - I wonder if it is now lost there? so disappointed when I spend over £35 and now wonder about how fresh it will be if/when I receive it

So sorry about your goat @Antje77 I hope it’ll pull through, what a worry and what responsibility - that needle looks industrial.
First breakfast- Montezumas absolute black Advent calendar chocolate.
Second breakfast- fridge tidying pate on lc toast, sliced Turkey breast and olives.
Lunch- received delivery of lc pies from The Low Carb Food Co. I need to stop buying stuff! Had a pork pie ( 1g carb per pie!) pretty good, pastry not as crisp as a regular one but none of the white stodge underneath.
Dinner- small lamb chop, 1/2 gammon steak and a baked mushroom. View attachment 52274

I wasn't aware of this firm. How are their pies? It's the one thing I really miss and pastry is still a work in progress for me.

Mine had a 1 December date. Suspect yours will be later. I'm surprised they didn't arrive today. Last time mine got stuck in Peterborough DGF replaced the entire order as some of them had white mold spots. Fingers crossed they make it.

Another day of not cooking.
One of my two goats is suddenly very ill. So between vets visiting, doing google searches, getting the goat comfortable, calling the vet again with the results of my google searches and requesting another medication, and finding the courage to inject the goat with a needle big enough to give any diabetic nightmares, I now have to decide what to eat. I guess it'll be another sandwich.
Fingers crossed for the goat, it doesn't look too good.
Pic of that needle here : https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/type-1stars-r-us.150597/page-1558#post-2464406

I did visit the library to print my Sinterklaas poems though, but further work on the surprise will have to wait until tomorrow.

That was the kind of needle we had to use when we had goats. Horrible great things. Tom was used to giving injections, having been responsible for doctoring sailors when on ships. He got me to practice on an orange before actually injecting a goat.

Edited to fix typos.

Their bread is lovely, just like ‘real’ bread. I always have some in the freezer. Can’t wait to try their pies and pizza

The goat is so far away it didn't even seem to notice the injection.
The injection was thiamine, B1, in case he has goat polio. Earlier today the vet treated him for listeriosis, which causes encephalitis. Symptoms are similar so treating for both seemed best. In both cases his chances aren't too good. We'll see.

Had a slice of lc bread with two eggs with Turkish sausage and cheese.

So sorry to read of your poor little goat's problems. I hope the vet's treatment can help. You can become so attached to goats, can't you? They are such characters. And this, so soon after losing your little guinea pig friend.

That pork pie looks fabulous. I used to love a pork pie, especially the pastry.

Tuesday 30 November - bed 7.9 FBG 7.8. DILs parents were flying home early today but they'll be back next year. I still have school run and after my "cafe" duties making coffees/bacon rolls for my fencers. Many thanks for the birthday wishes. It feels very much another day now but I did enjoy going out the day after.

B. TAG (too busy for anything else)
L. Coconut milk and a slice of SLC toast with egg mayo.
D. More coconut milk and I made a quesadilla with chopped spring onion, peppers, tomato, mushrooms, 4 cheese mix, herbs and seasoning. DGF Christmas pie with blackberries and a spoon of brandy cream.

@Annb - I'm not fussed by the fence. These things happen and it looks like it will be finished tomorrow or Thursday. We border with a neighbour so the cost is halved which helps.

Looks great, but awfully expensive.

It is that’s why I stock up very rarely, but place a fairly large order to make the most of the p & p charge.

That pork pie looks delicious. I loved pork pies from my days in the UK many years ago! However, meat pies are not really a thing here in North America like in the UK, Australia and South Africa. We do have chicken pot pie, and empanadas, but it is not really the same. The other day, I saw some sausage rolls (difficult to find otherwise) at Walmart. It was, however, disastrous for my blood sugar!

When we talk about pies, it usually refers to apple pie, strawberry and rubarb pie, blueberry pie and pumpkin pie. Pizzas in some locales are referred to as pies!

09:00 2 scrambled eggs
Then , finally, an appointment with my eye surgeon. More on that in another thread, if I can find it
Then a hunt round several stores for some homeware items, unsucessful.
15:00 fridge bottom raid of a chicken drumstick, some caulifower cheese savoury
21:00 bits at a social event, a cocktail sausage, some cheese, 2 éclairs and a ginger sandwich and quite a bit of red wine. The Christmas season has started.
Trying to pluck up the courage to test to see how far I've spiked...

Can you remember how many days yours were stuck in Peterborough? and that's the worry I have as well - I don't think dgf will replace the order as it was over £35 - what was the value of your order?

Do they do next day delivery? and do you need to be home to take the delivery? - it's just I am working and not always home

@Annb and @maglil55 I think they’ve made a pretty good job of the pastry, although it’s not as hard and crisp as a regular one. It’s only a small pie - a little bigger than one of those mini Melton Mowbray ones but it tasted just like a proper one so it’ll be great to have a couple of these for Christmas.
I also bought piccalilli from Keto fitness club which had a good flavour but was a bit runny. I used to make a big vat every year but haven’t bothered to try and ‘ low carb it’ yet.

 

[DJC3]

Ooo, I have some of those pork pies and a couple of pizzas on order with my usual order of bread and bread rolls. Glad to hear there’s no white stodge, I was never very keen on that bit of a pork pie!

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a phd bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a DGF choc chip cookie.
Dinner: bacon melts with Brussels and brocolli followed by SF jelly and cream.

Wish me luck for tomorrow, blood test to check that iron tablets and all this green veg has done the trick with my levels,

Good luck for the blood tests.
I’ve emailed the pie company to check if the pies are freezable - I’m assuming so but can’t see it on the website. It’s good to know the bread is nice too.

Yes the pies are able to be frozen

Breakfast: bubble and squeak with squash instead of potato and fried in butter plus 2 fried eggs. Currently have heartburn - shouldn't have caused that, but who knows if it would have happened anyway.

Later will be one of the fish pie bases out of the freezer and topped with some more of the roasted butternut squash instead of mashed potato. With peas.

Wondering what to have for Christmas dinner - or even whether to bother, it is just me after all. Really fancy the idea of something fishy rather than meaty but to get a decent piece of fish might be a problem. I'd like something like halibut if I can get it but skate would do and would be much cheaper. What I'd really like is dogfish (what used to be called rock salmon). Now that's a fish worth having. But I heard it was on the endangered list, so won't be available. Monkfish can't hold a candle, even though it looks similar. Also, there's a bell ringing in my head about skate also being endangered, so maybe it will have to be halibut - that is often farmed these days.

The delivery time is 5 - 7 days usually, and do you know I’ve never been in for deliveries from them, hubby took them in!
